Answer:

A document is a written, drawn, presented, or memorialized representation of thought, often the manifestation of non-fictional, as well as fictional, content. The word originates from the Latin Documentum, which denotes a "teaching" or "lesson": the verb doceō denotes "to teach" In general, a document (noun) is a record or the capturing of some event or thing so that the information will not be lost. A document is a form of information. A document can be put into an electronic form and stored in a computer as one or more files. Often a single document becomes a single file.
